Welcome to the home of the California Basketball Officials Association (CBOA), California's only statewide basketball officials association.
We are fast approaching a milestone event in our history. In 2018 we will be celebration our centennial anniversary. It's amazing how the game of basketball has evolved in the past 100 years.

The CBOA is served by over 3000 men and women officiating all basketball levels from Youth to Semi-Pro. We provide a comprehensive instructional program to prepare individuals for officiating basketball.
We are quite proud of the people who aspire to become Basketball officials.

The CBOA's mission includes upholding, encouraging and promoting high ethical standards amongst institutions, spectators, participants, coaches and officials involved in the game of basketball.

Situation B: A1 receives the ball with both feet off the floor and he/she lands simultaneously on both feet without establishing a pivot foot, A1 then jumps off both feet in an attempt to try for goal, but realizing the shot may be blocked, A1 drops the ball to the floor and dribbles.

Ruling B: A1 has traveled as one foot must be considered to be the pivot and must be on the floor when the ball is released to start a dribble. The fact that no pivot foot had been established does not alter this ruling.
